I invite you to try and do any of these things and discover how hard, prohibitively hard they are.

It’s not - a plain text site example, does all of these automatically
Sorry, you're right of course. But anything like a SPA where javascript populates and/or changes the DOM - that's not accessible to a plain client without rendering engine.
Sure, but the issue isn’t JavaScript, the issue is that people are building their websites as web apps and when it isn’t necessary.

Java applets and flash had the same issues.
